Problems with email setup in PHP 5.6

[dimitrisscript]

So I have set up userspice in a shared hosted server that runs with PHP 5.6.

I wasn't able to set up correctly email sending until I read this:

https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/w...on-failure

So if you get an error "Could not connect to SMTP host" just go to \users\helpers\helpers.php around line 120 and add this code:

<pre>

Code:

$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
    'ssl' => array(
        'verify_peer' => false,
        'verify_peer_name' => false,
        'allow_self_signed' => true
    )
);

</pre>


It worked for me because I didn't have a valid certificate, because php 5.6 needs it, I just had a self-signed one.

Mind you, this is bad practice and possibly a security hole.
